| Mason Jennings – Big Sur Lyrics | 19 years ago |

Mason introduced this song at a concert one time. He said it was about a time he really love someone, but he knew that things weren't going to work out in the long run, and that he had to break their heart. He sounded like he might cry when he explained it. The song tries so hard to sell the breakup as a good thing. I often wonder how it went over. |

| Whiskeytown – Excuse Me While I Break My Own Heart Tonight Lyrics | 21 years ago |
|
I really love this song because that night is so obvious: SB: Ryan, you can't keep coming over in the middle of the night like this. RA: I know, babe. It's just that I miss you. SB: I miss you too, Ryan, but you can't keep doing this. This is the second time this week. I have to work tomorrow. RA: What, and just like that you're supposed to be, like, out of my life? I can't just forget about you. I can't just pretend like you don't fucking mean anything to me. SB: Ryan, you know that's not what I'm saying. Have you been drinking? RA: That is what you're saying. So what if you don't love me anymore. I can't help how I still feel. I don't fucking want to help it. SB: Ryan, that's your problem. You never want to help it. You never want to help yourself. You just dwell in your own misery. I don't know why you won't like forward, why you're afraid of moving on, maybe being happy again. RA: I haven't been happy since you broke my heart. SB: Ryan, I'm sorry things had to be like that. You know I'd never try to hurt you. But that was a long time ago. You can't keep... Maybe then I hurt you, but now... RA: Now what? It still feel just the same. It's like, everywhere it feels the same. My head feels like heartbreak. My music feels like heartbreak. My drugs feel like heartbreak. My heart feels like heartbreak. Everything. Even, like, drinking a fucking glass of water feels like heartbreak. SB: Ok, maybe then, but not now. This isn't something I did to you! It is ion your own head. It's like you want to feel this way! It's like, I don't know... It's like your break your own heart, or something. |
